Yes

As long as you don't use a program to run both at once with one controller.

Just don't macro off each account like you can in WoW

You can have as many accounts as you can afford, can think of account names for, and can make email addresses for.

However, be exceedingly careful about using more than one of them at the same time. You cannot play the game on more than one account at the same time. That means no grouping up for dungeons, content, loot, or XP. No software can be used to coordinate playing the accounts. Only one account is active in the game at a time, and all other accounts are quietly doing nothing, like they are not even logged into the game.

Honestly, there is not a lot of utility to having two or more accounts logged in at the same time. I have done it to see what emotes look like, for testing add-ons, and getting the shader cooked file built after patches, but I really have few other reasons to do it. I do send mail between them, but I tend to log out of one, and into the other, instead of logging in twice.

What about using two mice with hands and two keyboards with feet?

I say if a player can actually do that, I for one would applaud them; but would also want to know if they were just monkeying around!

The same computer. I can ALT + TAB between them easily.

one open with steam another open with…?

My original copy of the game was bought outside of Steam (physical copy at launch), the second copy was bought from Steam but was bought before Steam login is forced (that's a thing now for new Steam purchases, right?).

So I just play with my original copy that is now linked to my Steam account and login to my second account using the username and password.

I just launch the executable directly (the Steam version so no need to install another copy) and it doesn't try to login with Steam; I can then login using the username and password for my second account.

Multiboxing isn't against the terms and conditions as far as I know.

https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23701

Multiboxing is NOT allowed in The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited in any of its forms, whether software- or hardware-based. Any accounts found to be multiboxing will be considered in violation of our Terms of Service and actioned swiftly and decisively, up to the permanent deactivation of the account along with any other associated accounts. To be clear, players are welcome to have multiple accounts. However, using hardware or software to play them all at the same time is not allowed on any ESO service.

Multiboxing is the practice of playing multiple accounts simultaneously, including, but not limited to using either hardware or software to facilitate the coordination between the accounts. This violates the intended nature of the gameplay mechanics we've created for ESO.

Is it possible or allowed to have 2 accounts on the same PC? I'm an altaholic and 12 char slots is nowhere near enough.

EDIT: only playing one account at a time of course.

@Baranthus

Yes, you can. One of my guild mates has 3 accounts, he just logs into each one as needed on the same PC.

Thanks for the reply Nestor! I'm sure its very straigfht forward but how do you run 2 accounts on one machine? - in my case I currently run ESO directly from a short cut. I don't actually use the launcher to play the game. When there's a patch etc I just update the launcher individually. I'd like to run 2 accounts in this way still but I'm not sure how to set it up and how to switch between the 2 accounts.

Yeah... and the best thing is that these accounts will never get mad at you and leave your guild! Well, not normally.

P.S. - If ZOS were smart, they would not allow the free accounts to join guilds until after the purchase of the game.

You loose one guild slot but get 500 storage, it also take plenty of work.
Don't see it as very common.

I dunno. There are people around the forum that would do that in a heartbeat. Probably already have.

I thought about it, but i didnt find a way to Login with steam to my eso Client and couldnt bother to download it again
